Little Hearts

Chapter - 29

|| ADMIRING HER LOVE ||

*****

Lasya turned the knob of the door and slowly entered the room without making a bit of noise and saw her friend, Shravas lying there with his eyes closed and his face pale.

She let out the breath she was holding and covered her mouth from stopping the sobs that threatened to come out any minute seeing his condition.

"May I sit here for a while?" Lasya asked the nurse asking for certain privacy.

"Sure madam. But please don't disturb the patient, and if something is up please press this button", the nurse showed the switch to press for emergency and she left her with him alone in the room.

They may be known for very little time, but still, he has managed to capture her heart. Every time she tried to ignore him and his feelings and thought it wouldn't affect her but she was so wrong as it came back with a much stronger effect. She couldn't hold more so she started crying silently.

He was always there in their heart, ever since she met him in Goa. He used to irritate her all the time. That trip was never forgettable for Lasya as she enjoyed it with her life.

Why will not she enjoy it, because;
- it was her first flight trip.
- her first sightseeing trip.
- her first journey outside of Bangalore.
- there was someone who annoyed her with his presence all the time taunting and teasing her.
- her Best friend's wedding
- and it was her dream to visit Goa.

So in all that, she had taken Shravas in her heart then and there but couldn't let admit to herself that she is seeing someone cause until then there was nobody interested in talking with her nor nobody showed any kind of love when she got only pity and sympathy which she always hated.

But only one person dared to show love even if it was annoying at the beginning. It was none other than Shravas himself.

Lasya had already fallen for him in the first place but every time she kept on rejecting it cause she didn't want to have a heartbreak since she already has a handful of everything in her life.

When she didn't see him after the trip, there was that secret admirer who kept on messaging her all the time telling her he is in love with her. But she couldn't take Shravas's face from her heart all the time so how can she fall for any person most importantly like a secret admirer?

She easily rejected him telling him she is not interested in a relationship and she also requested him not to contact her again. Since then she never heard from him. At first, she missed him.

Why not? He was there as a support for her whenever there was a need.

But yet, she pushed him away from her way and later she joined the college. Her heart started beating again with much cheerfulness when she saw him again. She behaved as if he is nothing to her but her heart and eyes always searched for him. The rest is history as you all know.

Now, seeing him lying sleeping like no one else is watching him,  here in the hospital bed aches her heart a million times just like an atomic bomb hitting an urban land.

She silently cried for don't know how long. She just sat there looking at him and remembering how she has come along with him in these past few months.

She has made up her mind to confess her feelings for him as soon as possible.

But how is it to be done?

And more than that, she had so many what-ifs.

"Will he love me back?
